arranged parents is to be treated as being that of child and parent; and
(b) the
relationship between the child whose parentage is transferred and each of the
child’s birth parents is to be treated as not being that of child and
parent; and
(c) the
relationships of all persons to the child whose parentage is transferred, to
each of the arranged parents, and to each of the birth parents of the child
are to be determined in accordance with this section.

order is made, an appointment, in a deed or will existing at the time the
parentage order is made, of a person as the guardian of the child whose
parentage is transferred, ceases to have effect.
